Question

Use the distributive property to simplify -2.5(-9 q + 16) ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

22.5q - 40

Notice that the number in in front of the q is +. That's because there are two minus signs multiplied and that makes a plus.

There is only 1 minus sign in front of 2.5 * 16 and that makes 40 minus.
